"The Boston Public Health Commission is partnering with several community organizations to provide free vaccine clinics around the city, the commission announced Wednesday. BPHC teamed up with Boston Public Schools, Boston Centers for Youth & Families, and community organizations to launch the clinics in late September before the climax of the respiratory virus season, the commission said in a press release. All of the clinics will provide free flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, and some will also offer routine childhood vaccinations for children five and older, according to BPHC."
""Vaccination remains the safest and most effective strategy to reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses like COVID-19 and the flu. By hosting free vaccine clinics throughout Boston, we are ensuring that vaccines are accessible to all residents," said Commissioner of Public Health Dr. Bisola Ojikutu."
""Massachusetts has the best health care in the world," Healey said Sept. 4. "We won't let Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy get between patients and their doctors. When the federal government fails to protect public health, Massachusetts will step up.""
Free vaccine clinics will be held across Boston from late September through mid-December, offering free flu and COVID-19 shots and, at some sites, routine childhood vaccinations for children five and older. The Boston Public Health Commission partnered with Boston Public Schools, Boston Centers for Youth & Families, and community organizations to launch the clinics ahead of the respiratory virus season peak. Residents can walk in without appointments, and insurance or identification is not required though bringing a health insurance card is encouraged. Parents seeking routine childhood vaccines should bring vaccination records. State leaders emphasized protecting vaccine access amid national restrictions.
